United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to issue a loan to Severstal Dearborn, Inc. (Severstal Dearborn, or “the Applicant”), a subsidiary of Severstal North America, Inc. (SNA). The loan would be from the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Incentive Program (ATVM Program) and would be used to design, manufacture, and construct facilities to produce Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) for the automotive industry. All of the construction is to take place at Severstal Dearborn’s current location at 4001 Miller Road, Dearborn, Michigan.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes, through a cooperative agreement with Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell), to partially fund the construction of a manufacturing plant to produce a critical battery material, lithium hexaflurophosphate (LiPF6). The plant would be located on a 10-acre parcel, within a 1,010-acre tract of land owned by Honeywell, in an unincorporated area of Massac County, near the City of Metropolis, Illinois. THis facility would support the anticipated growth int he Li-ion battery industry and, more specifically, the electric drive vehicle (EDV) industry. If approved, DOE would provide approximately 50 percent of the funding for the project.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes, through a cooperative agreement with Toda America, Incorporated (Toda) to partially fund the construction of a manufacturing plant to produce oxide materials for cathodes for lithium-ion batteries. The plant would be constructed within an existing industrial park in Battle Creek, Michigan. This plant would support the anticipated growth in the lithium-ion battery industry and, more specifically, the electric drive vehicle (EDV) industry and hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV) industry. If approved, DOE would provide approximately 50 percent of the funding for the project.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes, through a cooperative agreement with Celgard LLC (Celgard), to partially fund the construction of a small industrial facility (approximately 135,000 square feet) on approximately 20.6 acres of land for the manufacturing of separator materials for commercial hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV) batteries. The facility would be constructed on parcels within the International Business Park, Concord, North Carolina. This facility would support the anticipated growth in the lithium-ion battery industry
and, more specifically, the HEV industry. If approved, DOE would provide approximately 50 percent of the funding for the project.

DOE prepared this EA to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of providing an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the Recovery Act; Public Law 111-5, 123 Stat. 115) grant to Exide Technologies for expansion of its operations to manufacture advanced lead-acid batteries. DOE’s Proposed Action is to provide $34.3 million in financial assistance in a cost-sharing arrangement with the project proponent, Exide Technologies. The total cost of the project is estimated at $70 million. Exide Technologies’ proposed project would expand its domestic capacity to produce advanced lead-acid batteries for use in the transportation industry.
This EA evaluates 14 resource areas and identifies no significant adverse impacts for the proposed project. Beneficial impacts to the nation’s air quality and transportation industry could be realized from implementation of this proposed project. In addition, beneficial socioeconomic impacts would occur from increased employment opportunities and spending in the affected local economies.

Purpose: To build a Wind turbine to a height of 415 feet above ground level, 1573 feet above mean sea level. Location: The structure will be located 2.82 nautical miles northeast of Gardner Municipal Airport reference point.
The purpose of this study is to comply with the Manhattan Project National Historical Park Study Act (Public Law 108-340), passed in 2004, which directed the Secretary of the Interior to “conduct a study on the preservation and interpretation of historic sites of the Manhattan Project for potential inclusion in the National Park System.
DOE prepared this EA to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of providing an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act; Public Law 111-5, 123 Stat. 115) grant to Saft America, Inc., Jacksonville Plant to construct and operate a high-volume manufacturing plant to build advanced lithium-ion cells and batteries for military hybrid vehicles, aviation, smart grid support, broadband backup power, and energy storage for renewable energy.
DOE prepared this EA to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of providing three types of financial assistance to EnerDel, Inc. (EnerDel) to expand its domestic manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries: (1) a grant under Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA 0000026, Recovery Act – Electric Drive Vehicle Battery and Component Manufacturing Initiative; (2) a loan under Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA 0000052, State Energy Program Formula Grants – American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA); and (3) a loan pursuant to Section 136 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (Energy Act) as an automotive component supplier promoting improved fuel economy in light-duty vehicles.
